Richard Owens

Richard has worked for some of the most prestigious and respected companies in the world including Apple, Macquarie Bank and NM Rothschild & Sons. But it was his love of tech, innovation and wine that inspired him to found WithWine.

Richard is a savvy businessman with a healthy dose of nerd. He doesn’t take himself too seriously but sets serious goals for himself. That allows him to take chances and not let anything get in his way. After leaving the corporate world a few years ago he founded his first experimental startup called Decade Dusk. With the learnings he drew from that experience, he then immersed himself in the wine industry and set out to shake things up.

The speed with which he was able to establish himself within the Australian wine industry doesn’t come as a surprise to people who know Richard. He is a highly intuitive entrepreneur with the creative strength to envision new business concepts quickly and execute rapidly.
